Hi all,

I'm looking for help to camera track a shot for a short film I've been help= ing with.

I'm not currently set up with syntheyes o= r PF track, and the AE camera tracker can't solve it.  It's a simple pa= n of a single car driving past on a road (tripod I guess) and the problem is= that as the camera pans with the car, there's so much motion blur the AE tr= acker stops.  But I think that there might be enough detail for a dedic= ated tracker like Syntheyes or PF Track to get an acceptable solve.

This is basically a volunteer project so I thought I'd see i= f anyone here was interested in having a crack for fun...  It was shot o= n an Alexa, 3K footage, so no issues with resolution or technical quality.

If you're a gun with Syntheyes or similar and are up= for a challenge, shoot me an email - chris -at- chriszwar -dot- com.  I= 'll upload the selected take to a google drive and send a link later tonight= (my time).  If anyone can get a camera solve I can probably paypal a d= onation towards a Christmas drink :-)

Cheers in adv= ance,
